Re: Microcopter CRASH

Clearly this person had no control over the Phantom quadcopter, and shouldn't have been flying it anywhere except a large, uninhabited area.

That said, I'm surprised the first impact didn't take it down immediately.

Good thing he didn't get hit in the eye.

I got three original batteries from B&H for my partner who is a trained pilot. All those three gives erratic results and the copter is prone to crash. The phantom becomes perfectly stable when the original battery is used. I only fly to fulfill my childhood wish of flying. This technology is not mature. So one ought to be very careful.
